mUzima: The m stands for mobile while uzima is Swahili for life. You do not need to be a developer, an implementer or even an IT expert to be involved; there are several ways to be involved with mUzima:
Contribute Code:
mUzima is developed and maintained by an open source community. We depend on your help to write code that saves lives. You do not need to spend extended time, a few hours to fix a bug, add a feature or solve a ticket is what we need; but if you spend more time you are more that welcome.
Whether you are a developer or not, you can assist in testing our code. There is no perfect code and only through extensive testing can we develop a system that meets our needs.
If you can write technical documentation for software system, this is where your are needed. We need to maintain up to date manuals and documents for both developers, implementors and users.
